How the closure of the Strait of Hormuz affects solar aluminium sourcing

How the closure of the Strait of Hormuz affects solar aluminium sourcing

The supply of some solar components, such as polysilicon or wafers, might be minimally impacted by the conflict in the Middle East, due to China accounting for the majority of the global capacity. Yet this is different for other components, such as module frames made using aluminium or PV glass that relies on methanol, for
